MSE Parents Club Part 13

MadDogWoman_2

I have been researching on the web for a book case for Katies room, as she had 5 boxes of books.

I've seen ones in Ikea and Homebase, I've looked on some other sites and the prices are :eek::eek::eek:.

I'm leaning more towards the Ikea one as the rest of her bedroom furniture is white.

It all depends on the height though as it needs to go below her window sill, which is fairly low.

Hey MFD, what about these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000LNC6SU/sr=8-1/qid=1282340331/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1282340331&sr=8-1&seller= ? or these for the more confident: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zoggs-Clam-Dive-and-Hunt/dp/B000LNH70C/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=sports&qid=1282340331&sr=8-10

((Hugs)) Michelle, it's lovely that they got to meet though - I've just sent you a request on FB

MFD - what about these, not balls but they do sink

My_Fathers_Daughter

If golf balls sink then a golf ball is easy enough ....but I love those MDW!!! Oh but the CLAMS MICHELLE!!!!

You ladies know EVERYTHING!!!



Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about your grandad. That is a beautiful photo, brought tears to my eyes, you should get it printed so A can always see how much he loved her.



Hubby's dad died 15 years ago now, so before DSS was born, but DSS can tell you loads about his grandad - hubby talks about him all the time. Even now he tells Benjamin that his grandad wouldn't like him doing that or grandad used to be really good at this. Keeping the memory alive is very important.

I come from a family where all my grandparents died before I was born and I know very little about any of them because my parents don't often speak of them. I find it very sad.

MFD - we'll have to do that with grandparents on DH's side as they both died when he was in his 20s.

I had it growing up off my mum as her mum died when she was 16 and her brother when I was 8 months old.

My gran and grandad both had milk rounds - a representative of their old dairy even attended my grandads funeral. The dairy also used to send him a hamper every Christmas which we got the pick of.

The best legacy I've been left - being a tea drinker, I grew up in a house of coffee drinkers, I can't stand the stuff, but whenever I went round to his house I got a little glass teacup filled with tea and a biscuit - I still have the cup.

The clams are great arent they?! And they would be great for teens so its a long term purchase! I think you could justify spending a little more. (Im a rubbish MSEr... )

My grandmother died before I was born too, but I know lots about her, I think its important to talk about them too. My fave pic I have of her is when she is stood smoking outside the back door, she has a dress on made out of the same material as the curtains! Now she would be suited on here!

Thanks for the sympathy messages. The funeral is on Friday, its all the way in wales though and Im in Manchester. We dont own a car so I will go on the train with bubs. Its a bit miserable for me at the moment though, the night I went into labour, my closest uncle died. Now that was a difficult few hours.. before the pain took over and I couldnt think of it!

Sorry for being miserable!
